AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Cheers guys, will provide updates as and when I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ok, all 8 have now returned a positive response so we're good to go! Ideally we would like the remainder within 1 week if possible, as that only gives 3 weeks to ensure bookings of chunnel, MPV hire, dorms etc. and sort out a secondary driver: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=512Cheers!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Awaiting final payment from 3 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Any more info? Since it is only next Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The final person we were awaiting a deposit from pulled out late yesterday afternoon.Now, obviously this makes it very tricky!We have decided to run the trip anyway (at a loss since we don't feel it's fair to ask everyone else for an extra £35 at this stage) unless there is anyone who would like to jump on board at this late stage at a price of £200? (The deposit was non-refundable so we already have that part of the payment covered.)Either way, booking for ferry etc will be made this week and emailed out and posted here for all to see.CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
